Founded in 2013 by co-founders Jeremy Allaire and Sean Neville and headquartered in New York, US, Circle Internet Financial, LLC facilitates digital currency transactions through its stablecoins. In May 2026, Circle Internet Financial, LLC raised USD 220 million in venture funding from Andreessen Horowitz, Apollo, BlackRock.

Circle's core offerings center on facilitating global financial transactions through its stablecoin products, primarily USDC and EURC, which are fully backed by liquid cash and equivalents. These digital currencies are designed for various financial applications, such as real-time settlements, cross-border payments, and tokenized money market funds. By leveraging an open Layer-1 blockchain architecture, Circle enables efficient fund transfers across multiple platforms, catering to businesses and financial institutions integrating digital assets into operations. The company targets diverse clients, including banks and developers, operating in over 185 countries, particularly in the US, EU, and select regions in Asia and the Middle East.

Institutions subscribing to Circle’s services for liquidity management also contribute to the revenue stream, supporting both business-to-business and direct-to-consumer transactions. The company will use the May 2026 funding to build a digital foundation for banks through its Arc network and expand technology that supports automated financial transactions and banking infrastructure.
